How does it feel to be single?

Just eat a lot of pizza and you'll be fine9

I have a ton of hobbies so it never really bothered me much. Relationships come and go. Don't dwell on it.3

I feel fine. I've been "officially" single for a year and some months. I'm enjoying it because I married very young and stayed married a long time. Sometimes it gets a little lonely but I enjoy not having to be accountable to anyone and coming and going as I please. I don't think I want to stay single forever but for now I'm fine.5

I love being single. I’ve been single for 5 years now. I don’t know if I’d ever be able to live with someone again.3

This. Just change the 5 to 6 and that's me.1 -

You're being overly dramatic. It's more likely you'll die in your home with all of your cats and they'll eventually find you when someone does a welfare call.11 -
I've been single for 2 years. I have 3 kids. I definitely have my good and bad days. Thinking about how much my friends vent about their partners is the best way to get through it the bad ones. Also, I'll find a way to be social whether it's going out with friends, texting or just posting on a forum (like this!)
I wouldn't say I love being single, but it has given me the opportunity to get to know myself and appreciate my own company. Also, I've found the confidence to get out of my comfort zone and try things I never would have while I was in a comfortable relationship.4 -

I've been single for 11 years, never married (just co-habitating). I would rather be single than with the wrong person. I would rather be married to the right person than single, but I haven't found the right person yet (such person may not exist anyway).5

I have been married 37 years and hope I never find out. We also work together too so it would be a drastic change for me.1

Like I can finally breathe after 36 years of there feeling like there was something heavy pressing up against my chest!9

It has its good and bad days
Being 3rd or 5th wheel. Kinda sucks but hey whatever1 -
I have been single for 5 years. It took a bit considering I was in a 10 year relationship but I'm good now. I have a little boy and we stay pretty busy. I have come along ways as far as my career... I would like to date again eventually1

You won't know, and if you get lucky, your imaginary friends will be there with you. Being single you won't have to watch a mate go through it either.
I've been single for 6 years. Occasionally I would like to have someone to go out to dinner with other than my friends and family, you know, like a date? I just signed up for Match, mostly out of curiosity, and honestly I don't see that as leading anywhere at this point.3 -
I'm starting to hate being single. Too many Saturday nights eating Domino's pizza by myself has taken a toll on my heart. I don't know how much longer I can go on like this. I need a girl who will go to Disneyland with me. We can split a churro and stroll through Frontierland in our matching Mickey & Minnie ears. That's what it's all about right there. I can't go to Disneyland with my parents at my age. I don't have any kids. You think my buddy Rod wants to get wet with me on Splash Mountain? I need a girl in my life, man.10

I’ve been single pretty much my entire life. I was an incredible shy, awkward teenager. I messed around with a few guys in my 20’s, but they were never real relationships. I haven’t had any involvement with a guy for the past 6 years. I do get lonely and crave affection at times, but then I feel like maybe it’s better I’m alone. I’m still a very insecure, anxious person and the thought of dating gives me a lot of anxiety. There’s too many games being played, you never really know what someone intentions are, people are fickle........ They can be into you one day and then ghost you the next. Mentally I can’t deal with that. It’s too much.2

Single for 6 years. I would definitely rather be single than in a bad relationship. It does get a tad lonely, but not as lonely as occupying the same space with someone and still feeling lonely.6

This 100% for me, too. My answer to what does being single feel like is it feels like freedom! But, that's coming from someone who's been married twice and spent way too long with the wrong people. I'm perfectly happy with just me now.0 -

Or not. But, at least when someone decides to squat in tbe obviously abandoned home. Maybe just pick an apartment, because they'll want rent eventually.0 -
I don't really want to talk about it if we're being honest here. Thank you though.5

There are good points and bad points. Most of the time, I'm ok with it, but boy, sometimes I'd give a whole lot to have someone to cuddle with.1

Good days and bad days. I'd love to be in a relationship with the right person but if that's not in the cards than I'm ok being single. I have my friends and family. Having a partner is no promise that you won't die alone in a nursing home, same thing as having kids doesn't mean they'll visit you there. I can do whatever I want with no one to consult with but myself and my bank account.3

I have never been alone and single. The day I married, I woke up in my bedroom in my parents house for the last time.2
